Between the Lines

Verse

I left the light on

Like you might still walk in

Like the silence wouldn’t feel so loud

When you’re not here

I counted the seconds

Between breath and doubt

And somewhere in between

I keep losing myself

Pre-chorus

And I don’t know why

I still whisper your name

Like it would change something

Like you could hear me

Chorus

‘Cause I read between the lines

Of everything you never said

And I build whole worlds

Out of words that aren’t there

I keep believing

In something that fades

But maybe you’ve already moved on

While I’m still standing in place

Verse

Your coat is still hanging

Like you could come back any second

But even the smell is almost gone now

Just like what we used to be

I play our songs

But they sound different now

Like every note knows

You’re not listening

Pre-chorus

And I wonder

If you ever miss me

Or if I was just someone

For a moment, for nothing

Chorus

‘Cause I read between the lines

Of everything you never said

And I build whole worlds

Out of words that aren’t there

I keep believing

In something that fades

But maybe you’ve already moved on

While I’m still standing in place

Bridge

And if I’m honest

I’ve known all along

That silence is an answer too

Even if it hurts to understand

Chorus

So I stop reading

Between the lines you never wrote

I let go of the sentences

Where I stayed so stuck

It might hurt

But it also frees me

‘Cause I don’t have to find you

In what never really existed
